Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2005-12-22 06:57:13 UTC
Please find attached tapeutils-0.4.ebuild.

Since I could not find any utility in Gentoo Linux that will copy a tape and respect the tape blocking, I thought the "tapeutils" package would be a useful addition.

It is a small package, containing only two programs:

"tapecopy" is similar to the traditional Unix tcopy utility. However, it uses the tapeio library to support copying to and from any mix of local tape drives, remote tape drives (using rmt), and tape image files in John Wilson's format.

"tapedump" uses the tapeio library to read a tape or tape image file, and produce a dump of the contents in hexadecimal and ASCII, with headers for file and record numbers.

As category I suggest app-arch.
